Azelis Americas, LLC hired Lucia Zamudio as sales director CASE Division, Mexico, to lead the Azelis Americas CASE and Plastic Additive business in Mexico.

Azelis closed its acquisition of Megafarma, a pharmaceutical and food ingredient distributor in Mexico, in January 2020, establishing Azelis’ presence into the Latin American market and providing a foundation for the growth of additional businesses in Latin America.

Based in Mexico City, Zamudio will be tasked with building out the CASE and Plastic Additives sales team and related functions in Mexico.

“Mexico is a critical market for Azelis Americas CASE," said Frank Bergonzi, CEO and president, Azelis Americas. "Lucia Zamudio is a strategic hire made with the purpose of expanding the Azelis Americas CASE and Plastic Additives businesses throughout Mexico. Her extensive experience and knowledge of the market make her a perfect executive to lead the CASE business in Mexico.”

Previously, Zamudio was Latin American sales manager at Honeywell in Mexico City where she was responsible for significant growth across all areas of Honeywell’s foam business.

“I look forward to providing leadership, building a team and delivering growth in Mexico for Azelis Americas," she said. "The recent acquisition of Megafarma provides an excellent platform to expand the product reach and principal network throughout Mexico. I am excited to join Azelis’ team of innovative professionals providing the best solutions for clients across the industry.”
